But the most usable game. Id suggest using procedural objects if you want to shape it in another way.

A great model!
However, the building is not in reality at a 90 degree corner. It would have been nice with a modulation that reflected reality.

looks amazing~

thank you

You need lvl 1-4 corners, take a look at feindbilds us collection.

Do you know why this does not grow in my city? What is it that Im doing wrong?

The Dorilton was distinguished by the astonishing voluptuousness of its details. The cartouches, rustication, and the rather Junoesque sculptures seemingly trapped on the fourth-floor balcony were carved with a brio and exhibitionism that led the Architectural Record to quote Carlyle: "That all men should see this; innocent young creatures, still in arms, be taught to think this beautiful; and perhaps, women in an interesting situation to look up to it as they pass? I put it to your religious feeling, to your principles as men and fathers of families!" The Record ascribed the "incendiary qualities of the edifice . . . to violence of color, then to violence of scale, then to violence of 'thinginess,' to the multiplicity and the importunity of the details . . . . How everything shrieks to drown out everything else!" Nonetheless it was precisely the intricacy and the burly swagger of the Dorilton which was the source of its drama and expressed the optimism of the new century.

Just read this on a book: […]Dorilton[…]was the first of these to be completed and the most stylistically extreme, a highly florid Modern French design of exceptional vigor which developed themes[…]. The Dorilton's bold massing dominated Sherman Square. A heavily rusticated limestone base supported a bright red brick superstructure and a voluminous three-story mansard of black slate and copper.[…] A stone arch supported by a steel truss linked the two flanking wings of buildings at the cornice line, transforming the courtyard into a heroically scaled entrance portal. Four stone piers at street level flanked a canopy sprouting cherubs, creating a sense of entrance at a more human scale. The Broadway façade was somewhat less aggressive, its center anchored by a five-story-high, sheet-metal oriel bay, a device echoed at a lesser scale on the two pavilions facing 71st street which made delightful spaces of the rooms within, despite a plan riddled with long, narrow corridors.

Hermoso!

amazing...

Masterpiece

@Darf

I'm in love with your Dorilton Building.....

I'm FAVORITEing and THUMBS-UPing your Dorilton and hope to figure out how to make it a "Unique Building" and then, despite Colossal's parameters, add residences to it anyway (via RICO) when I do my next city....the one I'm working on now doesn't have any Rico in it.

Thanks so much for making this beautiful building.

:^)

@Darf

I get it now.......


Tried to create a resid building of my own (just a revised copy of a Vanilla building). That's the best my skills allow. I could never dream of being able to create something as beautiful and intricate as your Dorilton.
But in the process of doing this I did figure out why the Dorilton is hanging over the sidewalk. My buildings did that too when I tried to give them more than a 4x4 footprint. And if I made them "unique buildings," which allows for larger footprints, they no longer had residences in them - only visitors and tourists - and some had workers..... soooo.... Catch 22 as they say.....

Long story short - I now get the dilemma you face in not being able to keep the Dorilton from overlapping the sidewalk. Colossal parameters won't allow you to.

So my apologies for asking for that.......
:^)

Beautiful buildings! Thanks for putting so much work into blessing the CS community! Double blessings to you!

Hi DARF :^)

I don't have the realistic pop mod - never have had it - not even heard of it till today. Have you updated this building for the Green Cities DLC? When that came out, that was when I first noticed the population problem.

Any ideas? I really want to keep your building in my city - I have many, many neighborhoods scattered throughout my board made entirely of this building. Would hate to have to change out to another one that is not as pretty. This one is so beautiful......only problems with it are the populatioin problem and that Cims walk through the pillars that are overlapping the sidewalk. Oh yes, forgot I wanted to know if you could fix that as well? Maybe? Please? If you have time? I put links to two screenshots to demonstrate that problem in my October 4 comment. Did you have time to take a look at it?

RICO has nothing to do with the asset itself, assets function like they always did. Did you maybe install the realistic population mod?

@DARF

Okay - ran into one other problem after the GREEN CITIES updates.....I used to get up to 180+ filled residences in your Dorilton building (when I RICO'd it to hold 209 residences). But now, after the GREEN CITIES updates, it won't fill more than 12 to 40 residences.

Could you fix it, please, to work with the new Green Updates?

Thanks
:^)

@Darf
I absolutely LOVE your Dorilton building - use it extensively throughout my game....that said, I do have one tiny problem with it's pillars and front gate setting on top of the inside of the sidewalk it is placed on...these two screenshots are a visual of my problem: https://steamhost.cn/steamcommunity_com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=1158138582 , and https://steamhost.cn/steamcommunity_com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=1158145068
At present it's position forces Cims to walk through it on their way down the street.

Could you put just a little bit of room between the front of the Dorilton and the road it is placed on?
My city will be shared to Workshop soon - and I'd love to have all the Dorilton's on it be set back far enough for Cims and Users in first person mode to enjoy walking in front of it.

If this is too hard, please just ignore my request. And thanks, again, for this beautiful asset.

Amazing, no words.

So much work went into this. Just stunning.

Looks great. Well done.

Amazing!

Merci

You mean the beekman tower? It has too much geometry detail for C:S I think.

amazing...how do you feel about 8 spruce street one of the gehry buildings? would love to see someone get that one up with this much detail.

I hope you upload the Penobscot building soon!

Love it. Need to upgrade my toaster :)

@Darf

I thought you might like to see how beautiful your building looks when it is the only one on the hill (13 times).

https://steamhost.cn/steamcommunity_com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=888723343 shows a distance shot of the entire neighborhood - made entirely of your building.

https://steamhost.cn/steamcommunity_com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=888723632 gives a close-up view of one of the Dorilton buildings and a close look at the parks surrounding it.

Please feel free to copy the screenshots, Darf, and add them to yours on this asset page if you like. Call it my thanks to you for making such a wonderful building.

:^)

@Darf
This is such an intriguing building that I just had to do a RICO setting on it and then make a couple neighborhoods in my gamesave out of many duplicaates of it all in one area. With parks in between and around them, they look fantastic. One neighborhood is made up entirely of 13 of this building and is called Jacaranda Heights (because it's incorporated into a massive park complex at the top of a hill that has trees by Mr. Maison featured in it ... especially his beautiful Jacarandas). Your buildings make this area look so very upscale. Just LOVE IT.
Thanks for all your time and effort on this asset.

Can someone pls subscribe to me https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCj9lniFsNUqyaCFWOwlevTQ?&ab_channel=Finnet

Impressive

Indeed, amazing work. Thanks for your excellent model.

This building is extraordinary! It looks amazing in my city. Thanks for the dedication and blood sweat and tears you put into it.

@Darf
That is a great news that you're going to build bigger projects!!!!!!!!
If I were a graphic director of Colossal Order you would be given a profitable contract :-)
Seriously, we can't wait... (equitable building, woolworth, municipal, bankers trust building ...)

You're one of most talented modeller here!

@Jensoo, no unfortunately that's a private building by Prosper.
@Tomb it's a gorgeous building, but I'm going to do some small buildings first, before committing to some of my bigger projects.

It just grew in my city and I have to say I LOVE IT! :D <3

One question: Can the building on the far right in this building's profile picture (the white/light grey one with the several setbacks) also be found in the workshop?

Wow looks great

Love it

Amazing work!

nice, need more pls

Gorgeous.

AWESOME! Great job... need more of the great architectual gems of the upper west side and central park!

WOW

I love the arch on this. Thank you so much!

@Darf: And I love your models in general, NYC in particular (even though I'm from Philly!). Idea/request for you, the Park Row Building: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Park_Row_Building

Amazing work!

@Tomb very interesting to know! Back then NY was a different place. Love it when people have their own memories of the building try to recreate.
@Silkboxerwedgie Thanks, will keep them coming your way!
@ iommi99 I did make a tutorial some time ago: http://community.simtropolis.com/forums/topic/72390-how-many-of-you-use-sketchup-as-your-primary-3d-modeling-application/?do=findComment&comment=1655257 Ofcourse there's just not one trick, it is a lot of small things and a lot of effort.

Great effort and the result is OUTSTANDING!
Darf can you make a tutorial of how you create and texture model?

Awesome! And exactly true to life... I used to stay in the Dorilton back in the 70's, at our uncle's co-op. I can see the window of the bedroom where my brother and I stayed - 9th floor, right behind the arch, on the right-hand side... amazing detail! Today, the apartement (9E) is wrth $3M. Back then? Ratty elevators, barely working lights, original plumbing from 1902 - one common bathroom for 4 apartments, out in the hall. Fun times!
